Player Features and Ideas Discussion

To add to this, if the corp involved folds before the fighting period begins, the wardec fee should be refunded.

Since that would create issues regarding repeatedly aggressing people in NPC corps, which is apparently a sacred cow they are still holding on to, my suggestion would be to generate killrights against people who leave a corp during an active war.

I still think that if they dec dodge in the 24 hour cooldown window that the fees should be refunded, though.

Wardeccs are being used as a tool to destroy player corporations and force people into NPC corps. That is bad for highsec, and bad for the game. We should be making it easier to be in a highsec corp, not more difficult. Wardeccs need to be revamped so they can only hit bigger corps/alliances, say a minimum of 25+ people, or barring that, removed from highsec entirely.

Big -1 to any idea that makes it easier to perpetuate these useless wars and discourages social interaction in highsec.

War decs are social interaction. One of the people I enjoy talking to the most in game is the first person who decced me (also the first person who taught me about locator agents and why mining in a retriever during a war dec is a bad idea).



An isk sink to allow combat in high sec. I don't think I can make it less mysterious.

+ 1 to this idea, those who dec should not be punished for those who choose to disband and close a corp during the 24 hour start up period.


Simply NO. CCP always needs to leave an out for those who do not want any part of a war dec. If the corp disbands and closes in the first 24 hours the refund is good enough. After that as the saying goes you pay your money and take you chances.


SInce there is no Sov in high sec there is no battle over a region of space, and with no moon mining they are rarely filed over the location of a POS. The only reason WD exist in high sec is to give PvP players a legitimate way to try and muster up a fight without Concord intervention.


This is a part of the problem for sure, why fight and most likely die when there is nothing to be gained.
Another part of this is the unreal expectations of those who file the WD. People that want to fight will, and can often be found in low sec looking for just that. Those in high sec who do not want a fight never will no matter what the rules are or what you do.

I like this idea and with the new polarized weapons even a small groups can grind down a large POS in HS

there are people who dont want to pew pew in high sec and there are people who want.
I dont see any reason why CCP should skew the balance towards one specific group of people right now, nor are any provided in this thread. If you want pew pew so badly, you are wrong in high sec anyways, you know there is lowsec, 0.0 and WH space. Oh wait, lemme guess, people there shoot back, right?? Oh I understand. You want to target specific groups of people, easy prey and have your asses covered from the rest by daddy concord. Nope.

It does provide an advantage. But it also makes wars more expensive to declare, the defender can recruit allies, and mercenaries can show verifiable command center kills. The attackers may also come to your POS in an effort to stop your attempts to find out where they are.
Basically a reason for actually fighting rather than the camping trade hubs and logging off that most HS wars seem to consist of.


If that's still not enough I guess the defenders triangulation device could be allowed to stuff the attackers command facility with counter bribes once it has fully narrowed down the POS location. Say double/triple the wardec cost, half to CONCORD half to the attacker with a war duration x2 cooldown timer for the peace afterwards.

the thing is if you leave a corp that is at war you are still a valid target for;
a) 1 week
b) untill the war dec ends
whichever is soonest. You also can't join a new corp during that time period so extending that rule to a war dec that is due to start isn't unreasonable.
